That person was withdrawn and cold, and didn't like to play with others. He stayed at home every day either studying or practicing martial arts.
But Grandpa Huang was kind to him, even more so than Prince Xiao Wen!
He, the emperor's eldest grandson, was ignored, so he hated Xiao Xian since he was a child.
On his birthday, if people gave him something, he would always refuse it.
It can be said that since he was a child, he has hardly ever celebrated a birthday.
Especially you don’t want gifts from others, but of course you want rewards from the emperor.
And he hates people giving him gifts the most, so since he was a child, almost no one dared to give him gifts, for fear that instead of pleasing him, he would be humiliated.
But since having Shen Mingzhu, everything has changed. Although he doesn't feel good about face, he likes people to give Shen Mingzhu face.
Otherwise, why would Wan Qinghou and the others give Shen Mingzhu so much respect?
At that time, she was not the princess, nor was she anything special. People valued her either because of her relationship with Xiao Xian, or because of her past relationship with him.
Absolutely no exceptions.
In this case, there is a problem with her shop now, and Wan Qinghou is so rich, it would be easy to help her.
There is no one from the Chu family, Lin family, etc., as well as overseas merchants, who does not sell Wan Qinghou's face.
As long as he says hello, it won't be difficult for those people to deal with the shop run by the eldest prince in secret.
After all, what the eldest prince secretly founded was not owned by the imperial court.
Even if he deals with it, there won't be any problem.
Therefore, Xiao Che identified it as Wan Qinghou's handiwork, in order to please Shen Mingzhu and then Xiao Xian.
That Xiao Xian is definitely not very clean, there must be something fishy with Wan Qinghou, Yelu En and others.
Shopkeeper Li didn't think so, but the master had confirmed it, and he couldn't refute it.
Xiao Che walked around twice and then said, "Do you know if the King of Chu is also causing trouble secretly?"
In the past two years, Xiao Wen has been cultivating his character at home, or going out to play. It seems that he rarely moves under everyone's nose, but who knows if he is doing something behind his back?
Xiao Che doesn't believe it at all if Xiao Wen doesn't hate his father.
He was about to become the emperor, but his brother launched a palace coup, took away the throne that belonged to him, and put himself and his mother and concubine under surveillance. Who wouldn't hate it?
Xiao Che felt that Xiao Wen must hate the emperor, and he might transfer this hatred to himself. After all, he was the eldest prince and the most likely candidate to be established as emperor.
It makes sense for Xiao Wen to deal with himself.
In particular, in order to show his generosity and avoid being criticized by the world, his father returned King Chu's fiefdom to him, and also gave him many offerings and privileges.
If this were the case, wouldn't it further strengthen Xiao Wen's power?
If it were the other losers who competed for imperial power, which one would not end up miserable?
But as for Xiao Wen, not only was he not miserable, his life was much more comfortable than that of the eldest prince.
Both decent and wealthy.
At the beginning, some people used this to attack why he did not establish a crown prince, because the emperor might want to return the throne to Xiao Wen, which would make the world speechless.
After he came to the throne, the emperor did not kill Xiao Wen, but let him and his mother and concubine live well, and everyone got along harmoniously.
This also won him a good reputation. For this reason, no one said that he was a tyrant or a coward.
